Here in Northwich...two readings at about 1600 tues pm...

95F in shade and 120F in direct sunlight...both in back garden.

A bit warmer than normal but at least there was a bit of a breeze which made it more bearable.

Excellent shot.

Was taking part in a flypast at the 'G for George' 1940s weekend bash at Breighton Airfield, south of York.
(Amongst other events no doubt)...possibly did Fairford too.

Have just had a photobook to celebrate a significant family event printed by them...12x8...hardbacked...only quite slim...10 leaf / 20 pages with about 50+ images spread throughout in total.

Price was 2p under £50! (Including postage back). Personally I thought it was a tad overpriced for what it was...I was hoping to get it done initially when I thought about doing it for c£40. I was going on holiday though and needed to organise and order quickly so it would be ready soon after i got back...I asked them to delay delivery by a few days to accomodate this. Had I had more time i'm sure I could have found a discount code from somewhere to have brought the price down slightly but having had false starts with two other companies that I tried first I just needed to get it done...so took a chance.

Have to say...fair play to them...the print quality and overall look of the book is excellent. I'm going to deliver it in person tomorrow evening to the recipients and hope they will be as impressed with it as I was.

Their standard print prices are super value and i've been meaning to get dozens of images printed from various SD cards going back several years in lots of different sizes...i'm certainly going to use them for that on the back of my recent experience. Turnround time is very quick as well and you can collect if local...what's not to like?

Times like this you 'can't see the wood for the trees'...

John...i'd be only too pleased to lend you my coat...if I could find it..mine appears to have disappeared also...I suspect that heel wearing glasses (only just noticed him in LHS of image) might have strolled in whilst we were distracted and run off with it.

If I see him again he'll get a big boot up the backside from me.

There was a time when horticultural gardens held little interest for me...little did i suspect that decades later
I would actively seek them out!

Great location John with some lovely images.

Prefer the close ups over the wider shots but they are useful to give a 'feel' for the setting.

Personal favourites due to the lovely subtle colours are Nos 13 and 7.

Some nice images there.

Favourites are numbers 3 and 8 in that order.

I was instantly struck by the geometry in the gate in No.8...very Masonic.
